Put down your gun and listen to Bob Marley.

Consider the credibility of a man who likes "Dancing With The Stars" and doesn't like "Ali G."

Hidden deep with in Lupica's latest long-winded attempt to explain why he was wrong about baseball, and wrong about performance-enhancing drugs, and wrong about baseball players accused of taking performance-enhancing drugs, is this particular deal-breaker:
"Catch me up on something:

Who thinks Sacha Baron Cohen is funny?

Better question: Who ever thought this guy was funny?"

Look, sir, I know you were busy examining Theo Epstein's butt at the time, but this stuff is easy to find on youtube.


As for Lupica's authoritative take on the Braun situation:

"But if Laurenzi is a suspect, why wasn’t he identified as such in Braun’s hearing? If anyone believed the sample was really tampered with, why wasn’t the FBI called in? Maybe what we need, when this is all over, is to throw back the curtain, have Braun’s brief in his appeal, and Major League Baseball’s brief, made public, so we can make up our own minds about the facts as they were presented to the arbitrator, Shyam Das, who eventually made the ruling that overturned Braun’s suspension.

Maybe the biggest question of all for Braun is this: When did what was a chain-of-custody defense in private become a tampering defense in public?"

Was Braun's hearing made public? I'm not aware of this. If it was not made public, how does Lupica know if Laurenzi was identified or not? How does Lupica know if the FBI was called in or not?

False positives happen. Maybe this case was a false positive.


Lupica, you were wrong, and it's not the first time.

Your typical childish reaction is to write a lot of words in a column that doesn't provide equal time or proper feedback.

Lupica isn't seeking the truth or trying to save baseball. He's just Keeping Score on Everything and unwilling to admit he was wrong.
